First made by the Cistercian Monks at Jervaulx Abbey in Wensleydale, using milk from their herds, this cheese is now produced according to a time honored traditional recipe by the Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes, Yorkshire. It's full creamy flavor offers a clean, lemony tang which tends to sharpen with age. Firm and flaky, but not by any means dry, this pasteurized cow's milk Wensleydale is fragrantly sweet and perfectly paired with fresh fruits such as pears, grapes, and apples.

This cheese has gained international attention through the popular English animation feature of Wallace & Gromit and their long lasting devotion to their favorite snack of Wensleydale with cream crackers. They went through exceptional means to get hold of Wensleydale. As fortune would have it, there is no need to go to the moon because you can order Wensleydale from igourmet.

This cheese was perfect and as good as what we bought when we were in England.

Amazing cheese and the only one you can get in the US, gone through 2 lbs already. Fantastic with christmas cake or with mince pies.

Great Cheese Selection - Great Customer Service

Absolutely delicious, fresh cheese from England- arrived nicely packaged, not only on time as promised but one day earlier!. Firm, slightly flaky texture with that distinct lemony finish. We were very pleased with this product and Igourmet!
